Hasta La Creative!

Radiohead’s experiment is a quizzical success. I think it raises more questions then answers. Why, at this very moment, the motion picture studios grapple and argue about DVD release:how it effects opening weekend revenue and how to beat the pirates. The traditional record labels struggle to turn a profit and resort to suing private consumers in the lost attempt to control their rights and stop downloads. Wait, I’ve got a Limewire track waiting for 2 hosts, brb. Okay, I’m back! Honestly, I’m impressed that anyone buys music at all. I’m still saving up from my CD collection which took the better part of my 1990 summertime money shelling out $17 to get that one hit single. I don’t know the way or path of life or of things or how all of these industries will turn a profit or live to see another day. I just know one thing. Everyday, I wake up, and they do! Radiohead sends them a message that there are always options and new ways of doing things. This has always been at the very heart of great profit. Original thinking and risk taking with a great product. Now if the Music Industry was really smart, they would of course convert to a model based purely on advertising revenue, much like the networks. Or if Radiohead had been REALLY smart maybe they’d have done this too. But its, cool. What they did was already pretty smart.
